The Continuous SOC Loop: Automating Detection Engineering Inside Nemesis
Security assessment findings usually land in a dense report, forcing SOC analysts to manually translate findings into actionable SIEM rules. Nemesis changes that game. Turn your findings into Sigma detection rules and tune your SOC, right from your assessment results. Do it in a loop to find the optimal custom rules for threats! What’s New in Nemesis Detection Engineering Direct to Alert Navigation Jump straight from high level assessment findings directly to the underlying a

Built-In MITRE ATT&CK Navigator in Nemesis: Instant Coverage & Gap Analysis
When you run a threat scenario or execute an automated emulation, one question always hangs in the air: “What did we actually cover? And where are our blind spots?” Historically, answering that meant exporting logs, converting file formats, and importing unprocessed data into third-party visualization tools just to see your results mapped against the ATT&CK framework. Not anymore. To streamline threat scenario validation, Nemesis now includes a built-in MITRE ATT&CK Navigator

Introducing the Nemesis AI Operator: One-Click Intelligence for Continuous Security Validation
In modern cybersecurity, security teams aren’t lacking data; they are overwhelmed by it. Between complex attack simulations and static vulnerability reports, the ability to translate raw results into defensive action is the primary bottleneck in stopping breaches. To eliminate this friction, we are introducing the Nemesis One-Click Intelligence. Nemesis now interprets your results for you, and shows you what an attacker could do next, in your own environment, as a companion t

How to Automate Advanced Security Testing with Nemesis Guided Workflows
In 2026, threat actors are using specialized AI to chain vulnerabilities together and weaponize new attack techniques within hours. To defend against these dynamic threats, organizations must move away from static test checklists. That is why Nemesis introduced Guided Workflows – an interactive, AI native approach to scoping, planning and executing complex Threat-To-Test validations without operational overhead. What are Guided Workflows? Guided Workflows are structured, inte

CVE-2026-48710 - Bad Hosts in the Wild
A census of the Starlette host-header auth bypass Persistent Security - research writeup. Aggregate findings only; per-target detail is withheld pending the coordinated-disclosure window (public deadline 2026-08-26). Classification: TLP:AMBER. 2,856 findings (deduped) ~2,393 confirmed vulnerable 58 countries ~78% fail-open (Tier 1) TL;DR CVE-2026-48710 is a Starlette host-header authentication bypass. Because FastAPI is built on Starlette, the affected population spans applic

Month of Bypasses Iteration 3: Winlogon's Got Your Credentials
By the Persistent Security Research Team - May 2026 Process Injection - MITRE ATT&CK T1055.002 Last time, we loaded mimikatz entirely from memory without Defender noticing. This time, we take the next step: cross-process injection into one of Windows' most sensitive processes to check if AV or EDRs will catch this! We inject a .NET CLR runtime into winlogon.exe, read stored credentials from registry, and exfiltrate them over DNS - all without triggering a single Defender aler

Month of Bypasses Iteration 2: You Can't Escape The Katz!
By the Persistent Security Research Team - April 2026 Portable Executable Injection - MITRE ATT&CK T1055.002 When Defender sees mimikatz, it kills it. On disk, in a ZIP being extracted, in a PowerShell script that references it - the binary has thousands of signatures pointing at it from every angle. Yet it's still one of the most useful tools for red teamers and bad actors alike! So how do you run mimikatz on a fully patched Windows 11 system with Defender at latest signatur

Introducing The Month of Bypasses: What Defender Can't See
By the Persistent Security Research Team — April 2026 Introducing the Month of Bypasses Today we're launching a new series: the Month of Bypasses. We'll publish bypasses for known MITRE attack techniques on a regular basis over the coming 30 days, each one discovered by AI-driven variant analysis using our Nemesis Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) platform. Why? Because that's what Defenders are doing right now as well: Using AI automation to revive their proven tool sets. S

Building Nemesis AI Agents: A Tale of Many (Inter)faces
When we set out to integrate AI capabilities into Nemesis, our Breach and Attack Simulation platform, we faced a common challenge: how do you build a flexible AI agent that supports multiple LLM backends (including OpenAI, Claude/Anthropic, other future models) while exposing them through different user interfaces tailored to distinct workflows? The answer lay in creating a clean separation of concerns with two layers of abstraction : a backend interface that normalizes diffe

Why Breach and Attack Simulation Is the Future of Security Validation
Yesterday's news told the same story we hear every week: another supply chain attack, another NPM compromise, another reminder that traditional security approaches aren't keeping pace with reality. This time it was the Shai Hulud worm infecting thousands of GitHub projects. But here's the thing, this exact attack happened 69 days ago. And 4 years ago. Same technique, same exploitation path, just more sophisticated execution. The security industry loves to panic after each bre

How We're Building AI That Security Teams Actually Want to Use
We all know this: AI is transforming cyber threats. Attackers now use it to find vulnerabilities faster, automate complex attack chains, and evade detection with unprecedented sophistication. AI presents many opportunities for defenders as well, however we see the security industry wrapping AI around traditional tools and calling it innovation. At Nemesis, we took a different approach: we built an AI operator that actually runs security validation, not just reports on it. The
